soldiers of Florida who participated In the
war between the states a.s Confederate
soldiers.
Proportionately headed.' he said, " no

the Confederacy. In is?k? Florida had
.?n: white people, and yet she sent
eleven regiments of infantry an.j organ

more.
it is.a great pleasure for the survivors
of the Confederate army to meet here in

get that Florida proportionately gi\*es
more money for pensions to the Confeder

J],
Over sixty years ago the I'nited States
of Mexico lost nearly half of her terri
tory to th?- United States of America,
roday she faces the possibility of part
us with half of what she l:as left, ac
| ? ording to the European diplomats and
j historians who claim to know the new
! world. Moreover, all of Mexico nltimate
! u*'' ^e absorbed into this country, say
these self-same prophets of the old
world, as they exclaim in alarm that it is
i out manifest destiny to own everything
1 to the south as far down as the Panama
| canal. While the declarations of the o -
! rtcials of the American administration
arc directly opposed to this, and these
declarations undoubtedly are made in
Rood faith, no living man can tell what
the future will bring forth. I
A lon.n American frontier, menaced bv
the carnage, pillage, rapine and arson of
the border Mexican states, added to our
| nion inure than half a centurv ago the!
..!?1.??"> square miles of land "that left
Mexico a country, of only 7G7.00O square
miles. For nearly four years the same
horrible anarchy has been debasing what
are now the Mexican northern states on
our harassed border.
Hundreds of Americans have been kill
ed or wounded and millions of dollars of
our property destroyed. European na
tions also have suffered severely. Our j
people demand redress. Europe looks j
to us for action. Must we take another j
lonff step to the south and annex more !
trouble? 1
The first armed conflict with Mexico
gave us the mighty states of Texas. Cali
fornia. New Mexico and Arizona, for
which we afterward paid Slo.noo.ooo. The
present state of Mexican .affairs is but a
lurid reflection of the past, and the bor
der states of Lower California. Sonora.
Chihuahua. Coahuila. Tamaulipas and
Xnevo Leon, asgregating .'tlS.TSW squa.e
miles, may soon be under the Stars and |
Stripes.
In the meantime l.l.OOn American troops
are watching Mexico along the northern j
rim: to the south American soldiers and j
sailors are occupying the port of Vera '
Cruz: a national guard of officers!
and men stands ready to back up a
march to Mexico City, and a. patriotic
citizenship would give raw re- 1
cruits tomorrow, if called foi. willing to
uo anywhere and everywhere into Mex- '
ico.
If the I'nited State? is as land hungry)
as foreigners say it is. how astonished i

tn Tami over the failure of

itself of any number of opportunities of
the past sixty years to make an ea$y
conquest of the fabulously rieli Mexican
states just across the border. Before us
lie* ;i lam! just like our own Texas, blood j
brother to wonderful California; an area
which owes to Americans all the pros- '
peril, it ever had: a territory ever poorly j
guarded, if it is to be presumed that the '?
M-xicans who know us reallv feared J
ruthless aggression at any time; a mouth-!
watering country ?f S0ld and silver and J
pearls and rolling fields, whose ? embat
tled houndary is well represented bv an'
open budge connecting Juarez and El I
-<!, in Nogales a street running
through t. e town w here one curb is
American and the other .Mexican. What
powerfu country other than the I'nited I
Matesi wouid long resist such a tempting
morsel. !
rile state of Sonora separated from
Arizona by a line in the middle of 'he
street, is about the size of South Da
or Nebras?i?- having an area of
? square miles. anil only ten of our
states e:.ceed it in area. It has a popu
lation of about WO.OuO and it abounds
in ? eroitrces capable of supporting twenty
times as many people. Twenty miles
below Nogales. on our Arizona line, be
gins the famous Mag.ialena mining dis
trict, one of the richest on the entire i
continent. It was first worked by Jesuit I
priests m 17311. Their chronicles tell of <
unearth.rg solid blocks of pure silver in i
globular form weighing from twenty-five
to nfty pounds. Occasionallv, one would ;
weigh run pounds. This mine was lost!
soon after, until discovered hv an \mer- i
lean in 1S17.
Fifty miles to the east are the great!
1 later gold fields of Santo Domingo I
canyon. They were first worked bv the'
Aztecs many centuries ago. and "it is I
recorded that the bed of one river was :
lined with gold for fifteen miles. In
tnis state of Sonora the boundless treas-i
ures of Montezuma were secreted. Gold
mad Spaniards sought It for decades and I
treasure worth millions and millions was i
,'.r ??ner of Quintara mine,

j-ame precious metal formed the path she !
trou from her home to the church altar
A Spanish widow who toiled for years 1
made her way to Mexico City with four ;
tons of gold ami silver bars, loaded on
fort, mules. She was assassinated ami
her money stolen. Many of the Jesuit
I and Franciscan churches in Sonora were
i literally made of money. The one at
Baroyeca, built in 104^. had all four walls
[lined with silver, and the altar vessel*
| were of pure gold. In iya> an American
prospector, peering through the secret
I door of a ruined <-hurch, discovered a
1 lost mine that made him wealthy in a
] year. Sonora used to he *he stamping
ground of fierce Yaqui Indians? and half
breed cutthroats. Tt is still rich in min
j erals. not to mention splendid agricul
! tural resources.

? Less than one-half of this area is under
cultivation, but irrigation ditc hes and ar
Itesian wells are beginning to spring up.
Texas itself does n??t excel i? as a rattle
and stock country. In the sand and
alkali wastes gr*at herds of cattle and
horses run wild. Turpentiue and resin
abound in the mountains.
Knormous gold and silvei deposits dot
this state, including the noted Santa Lu
lalla district. The climate is like our
ow n southwest. and every product known
to the temperate zone grows there.
About 200 miles below the American line
tiie desert begins, where scorpions and
tarantulas dispute sway with man. A
feature of the desert life is the great
variety of cacti, all of which are thorny,
and range in height from two inches to
ino feet. Here the juice of a plant of
ash-colored leaves, with livid spots, is an
antidote for snake bite.
Chihuahua City, capital of the state,
is a bustling burg of 35,000. with a strong
American atmosphere. It has an iron
foundry, a soap factory and a brewery.
Silver slag is valuable composition in
the make-up of the inpre ancient houses,
just to show how freely the stuff that
money comes from was thrown around in
the good old days. Juarez, across the
bridge from the Texas town of HI Paso,
is another interesting place. Thousands
of visitors cross from the American side
on gala days to see women conduct the
bullfights.
The quaint "butterfly dog * comes from
Chihuahua. It has pointed, upstanding
ears, and five nails on each foot. In size
it weighs from one to three pounds, and
is not much bigger than a well fed wharf
rat. It is near kin to the priceless
Pekingese dogs of China, thus lending
color to the theory that this continent
was once a part of Asia. Pure-bred but
terfly Hogs now cost hundreds of dollars
in gold, but There was a time when ten
pesos mex would buy a good one. Blood
thirsty Apache Indians raided this sec
tion for generations until Gen ?'rook
drove Chief Geronimo and his hand away
in lSvS".
The neighboring state of Coahuila,
which also borders on Texas, is the third
largest in Mexico,

reached up almost to where Kansas City
now stands. It is a wonderful state for
the white settlei. It g?ves hospitality to
over sixty varieties of trees known to
the cold and temperate zones, besides sixty
tropical kinds, in the southern part, and
forty varieties of fine fruit ranging from
lemons and oranges to melons and In
dian figs. Its Pan>s grapes are turning
out wine equal to <'alifornia's. There is
plenty of land for stock raising, and be
neath the surface are huge beds of gold,
silver, copper, lead and coal. In this
state is situated the city of Torreon,
which Villa captured April 3, after ghast
ly fighting. Here are cotton, flour and
iron mills and the largest soap factory
in Mexico
The state of Nuevo Leon shakes hands
with Texas across the Rio Grande at La
redo. where the fine white onions come
from, to the extent of 12.000 ? carloads,
worth $100,00<?.000, every year. Cosmopoli
tan Monterey, an Amerieanized city of
*5,000. is the capital. It boasts of all
manner of modern things, including an
American newspaper. Situated in the
rich, valley of Santa Catarina. with a de
lightful climate, it is regarded as the best
ritv in a'.' "f ? ""
.v ?.t ir6aiu^i as ine d
city in ail of Mexico. The state is as big
as West Virginia, and has splendid re
sources.
These states, together with the little
known Tamaulipas and Lower California,
comprising the flower of Mexico, face our
border. Bloody strife on the part of the
Mexicans themselves has riven them
eternally. Whether the march of progress
is soon to bless them with peace and
prosperity remains to be seen.
Body Found After Six Months.
ESCAXABA, Mich , May 7 ?The body
of John Gallagher, chief engineer of the
steamer Henry B. Smith.. wrecked in the
great storm of last November, was found
yesterday on the shore of Michiplcoten
Island near Sault Ste. Marie. Ontario,
and was brought here last night. The
body was identified by letters and a
watch found in the pockets. Gallagher's
widow and five small children live in this
citv.
REPORTS OF ATTACKS
ATM CRUZ FALSE
Eleven American! Escape From
Southern District?Khaki Suits
for Sailors.
j VKRA CRl'Z. May 7?Vera Cruz is full)
| of sensational rumors about attacks on j
j the American trdops in various quarters,
'but all of them have proved groundless.
Perfect order prevails in the city and
conditions art* nearly normal.
Eleven Americans whom Consul Canada
had been endeavoring for a week to res
cue have succeeded in escaping from the
southern district and have arrived here
on board a tishing boat. They came from
five different localities and congregated
at Santa Fe. on the Poloapam river, run
ning through a jurigle country.
Stoned by Native Crowds.
The heat and innumerable insects add
ed to their sufferings, and after they had
embarked at Santa Fe to go to the coast
they were subjected to insults and Jeers
from crowds of natives who at one time
stoned them from the banks.
Mrs. c. li. Everett, from La Candalaria,
was the only woman in the party, which
included Messrs. R. If.. IT. P. and A. H. I
Gould and Paul Steel of San Gabriel,
near Plava Vicente; Walter Barker. F.
P. A. Carpenter and I-/eroy Ault of Paso
del Cura, Charles McKlm. Howard W.
Hill of Play a Vicente and E. M. Sieg of
Cosimalopam.
The fishing boat was manned by Mexi
cans who had been told they would be
given ten peso? a head for refugees, and
who had been scouring the coast for!
such a cargo They picked up the party
ar Alvarado. a small port to the south of
Vera Cruz, and brought it here.
Khaki Uniforms for Sailors.
Another step toward the complete pre
paredness of the American forces here
to meet any emergency was taken yes
terday -vvhen the fipet received
khaki uniforms for the bluejackets in
J case they should be called upon for serv
ice ashore. The conspicuousness of the
white uniforms worn by many of the
sailors of tile landing parties cost many
lives during the first days of the occu
pation of Vera Cruz. Many of the blue
jackets at that time dipped their white
uniforms iri coffee or muddy water in
order to da: ken them, but this process
did not avail them much. The organi
zation of the sailors has now been com
pleted. and if ordered to land they will
b*- formed into three distinct regiments.
The men of the fleet will soon resume
small arms practice. Rear Admiral
Charles J. Badger decided to send the
vessels to sea one at a time for this
{ purpose.
Rear Admiral Badger. Brig. Gen.
' Funston and Charles Jenkinson. special
! representative of the National American
? Red Cross, conferred for the purpose of
j drawing up plans as to the activities
of the Red Cross.
Seven Snipers to Be Tried.
The first trial held by the military com
mission here will be that of seven snipers
taken from merchant vessels which were
tied at the wharves during the fighting
in the city. Shots were fired at intervals
during two days at Americans going back
and forth from the warships in the har
bor. and these were finally traced to the
moored vessels. A search was made
and the seven men arrested. They com-,
prised three Chileans, three Cubans and
one Peruvian. Their trial has been order
ed by Brig. Gen. Funston.
A court of claims composed of armb
and navy officers has been organized
and has begun the hearing of foreign
claimn arising out of the shelling and*
the street fighting during the occupation
None of the claims is heavy.

TAKING OF VERA CRUZ
DROVE MEXICANS WILD
Missionary Tells of Enforced Flight
of Americans From
Yucatan.
NEW YORK. May 7.?Conditions forc
ing the departure of Americans from
Mexico after the taking: of Vera Cruz
are described in a letter received today
by the Presbyterian board of foreign
missions from their missionary. Rev. J.
T. Molloy. a refugee from Merida. prov
ince of Yucatan.
"Peaceful Yucatan went wild at the
report of the taking of V^ra Cruz, and
the cry of 'Death to the Americans!'
was attended with such demonstra
tions as to make aM feel that the only
prudent thing to do was to evacuate
without delay," wrote Mr. Molloy. "Our
presence in Merida or in Progreso not
only endangered our lives, but ex
posed our Protestant people to attack
on our account. .
Murmurs Against Religion.
"In an anti-American demonstration
murmurings against our religion were
mixed with cries of Death to .the
Americans!'
"The home of a well known and well
liked business mau was approached by
a mob crying 'Death to the Americans!'
I They shot into the windows, broke in
I the door, and but for the arrival of
the police would have demolished the
house. The family escaped by going
up on the roof.
"We are thankful to have had a way
of escape. The.rc was no communication
with Mexico- City, no chance to send a
wire to any part, of the world?there was
no way out but to take an English
freight boat bound for Mobile, and we
gladly took it.
Aroused by Officials.
"I think it is only fair to the people
of Yucatan to say that left to themselves
they would have behaved well, but the
people were inflamed by false reports.
Extras were got out one aft?r another,
bogus telegrams were circulated such as
?Vera Cruz has fallen bathed in blood,
but she fell bravely?even women slew
Americans,* 'The blond-faced brutca arc
marching for the center of the republic."
"One thing was clearly seen -the whole
uprising was brought on by officials,
and it was said that an employe of tin
post office led the riot of which 1 have
spoken. '
THEORY OF WATER VAPOR
ON MARS IS CONFIRMED
Existence Proved by Spectrograms
Taken at Lowell Observatory
by Dr. V. M. Slipher.
BOSTON. May 7.?The theory "of the" ex
istence of water vapor on the planet
Mars is confirmed by spectograms taken
at l.owell observatory. Flagstaff. Ariz.,
according to an announcement given out
lalst night by Dr. Percival l.owell from
his office here.
The statement says that while the
amount of water is difficult to.determine,
the etrmates ulaced it at about one-third
thi: of the atmosphere of the earth.
The photographs were taken in Feb
ruary oy Dr. V. M. Slipher and the
measurements have Just been completed
by Prof Frank W. Very of West wood
with the spectra! band compartor. The
statement continues: "Dr. Slipher has
taken advantage of a new stain for his
rlates. which irodvoes greater sensitive
ness in the portions of the spectrum to
h-2 examined, so that r?si:Jts are definite
ones. They ? indicate * a ? difference in
amount of water vapor in different parts
of the planets surfato. Very is satisfied
that the equatorial poitir.ns of the planet
aro very dry, ?r:d that the polar precipi
tate ?i is the source of the moisture. The
me'.t ng In the spring .Ihpe shows a con
siderable amount of vapor."

Church South.
This action was taken at the opening
session yesterday of the seventeenth
quadrennial conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church ^outh. after the college
of bishops, in an address read by Hishop
' \Y. A. Candler of Atlanta. (la . expressed
j the opinion that, in view of the decision
of the court "leaving to the church only
a mere shadow of connection with the
university." the church would not be jus
tified "in any further attempt to direct
its affairs or assume responsibility for it."
The resolution providing for the ap
pointment of the committee was intro
duced by Rpv. J. H. T-amat* of Alabama.
Delegations Made Equal.
Departing from the usual eustom. the
conference adopted a resolution making
equal th-1 ministerial and la\ representa
tion on the various standing committees,
llrretofoie several committees, especially
the committee on episcopacy, were com
posed entirely of clerical delegates. The
necessary rearrangement of committees
disarranged the day's program, and the
reading of the report of the bishops on
the constitution of the church was defer
red.
Delegates from thirty-seven annual
eonferenees and moi e than a thousand
visitors attended the first sessions of th?
general conference, vhieh will be in ses

GARIBALDI?ITALJA'S GREAT PATRIOT
rj the cause of Ffersonal and National Liberty this modern Rienzi of sunny Italy would have gladly laid
down his life. It inspired him to deeds of immortal grandeur, of superb valor and of boundless suf
fering. Garibaldi would not have legislative tyranny of any kind enter into his own private life
any more than will our millions of liberty-loving Italian citizens. His flaming soul scorned any
legislation which would prohibit ALL because ONE man out of thousands imbibes in glutton
ous quantities. He knew that the light wines of Italy and the barley brews of Germany are beneficial
to humanity
Upon an old Germanic basis 57 years ago Anheuser-Busch, brewers of Budweiser. established their
brand. The Constitution of the United States is the sole authority upon which they launched their
business in America. Every day of these S7 years has been devoted to the brewing of an honest
Barley-malt and Saazer Hop brew?the kind that spells Temperance throu^iout the world. Seven
thousand, five hundred people are daily required to keep pace with the public demand for Budweiser.
Its sales exceed any other beer by millions of bottles. anheusek-busch ? st.louis
